Overview
An abscess can threaten the visual or neurological status of a patient with orbital cellulitis; therefore, surgical intervention is sometimes necessary. Surgery typically requires drainage of the sinuses and, if a subperiosteal abscess is present in the medial orbit, drainage may be performed endoscopically. Post-operatively, patients must follow up regularly with their surgeon and remain under close observation.[1]
